<p>DTS (Device Tree Source) files provide a human-readable
source description of the hardware resources for a given
computer system (such as ARM- or MIPS-based embedded boards).
The DTS source representation must be compiled into a binary
format in order to be linked into the kernel and used to
locate devices at runtime.</p>
<p>The DTS files in &os; were updated to match the versions from
Linux 4.11, to represent more modern devices and provide more
accurate representations.</p>
